The South elected former Confederate leaders and military officers to high positions.

The South passed new laws restricting the rights of African American.

Explanation:

South had always been behind in terms of rights for all men (as our constitution reads) because they did not consider slaves as actual "men" or people and traded them and abused them. Congress took over the reconstruction because they felt the injustice had continued for long enough and they needed to reform the situation for the African American people.
